I never used it, always using Grub or Lilo instead. I used FBSD's boot manager, but found the default being the last used OS did not work well in my situation. I needed something that I could set the default to Windows for the rest of the family. BootMagic does that for me. Previously, when running Win98/Linux/BSD, then Lilo did the same.
